Wireless Intercom Door Chime

Your RadioShack Wireless Intercom

Door Chime operates as a two-tone

doorbell and an intercom. The chime

is simple to install because it requires

no wiring. Your chime's two channel

switch and digital coding prevent other

transmitters or radio devices from

sounding the chime. To conserve

power, both the receiver and transmit-

ter automatically turn off 30 seconds

after you stop using them.

The chime includes these features:

Separate Buttons for Bell and Inter-

com

— let your callers first announce

their arrival and then communicate us-

ing the intercom.

Receiver Volume Control

— lets you

adjust the volume to a comfortable lev-

el.

2-Channel Transmitter

and Receiv-

er with Digital Code Selection

— as-

sure interference-free communication.

50-Foot Usable Operation Distance

— means you can install the transmit-

ter and receiver virtually anywhere in

your home or business.

Indicators

— light so you can easily

confirm the chime’s operation.

PREPARATION

Setting the Channel and Code

The transmitter and receiver are

equipped with two selectable operation

channels and two selectable digital

codes, to ensure positive operation and

prevent interference from similar prod-

ucts nearby. Select the same channel

and code number for both the transmit-

ter and the receiver.

To set the channel, slide

CHANNEL A/B

on the side of the receiver to

then

set the transmitter’s channel switch

(shown here) to the same setting.

Note:

If the door chime occasionally

sounds without anyone pressing

BELL

on the transmitter, change the channel

settings.

To set the code, remove the battery

compartment cover and slide

CODE

either

on the receiver, then

set the

transmitter’s code switch to the same

setting.

Connecting the Receiver to AC

Power

Locate a standard AC outlet in the area

where you want to hear the chime and

use the intercom. Plug the receiver's

power cord into the outlet. POWER

lights.

Installing the Transmitter's

Batteries

The transmitter uses four AA batteries

(not supplied) for power. For the best

performance and longest life, we recom-

mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the re-

quired size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,

different types of batteries (stan-

dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or

rechargeable batteries of different

capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Use a flat blade screwdriver to

loosen the screw in the transmitter’s

battery compartment cover, then lift

the cover off.

2. Place the batteries into the battery

compartment as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) marked

inside.

3. Be sure the rubber seal around the

battery compartment is properly

positioned, then replace the cover

and tighten the screw.

Replace all four batteries if the transmit-

ter’s indicator lights dimly or not at all

when you press any button on the trans-

mitter.

Warning

: Dispose of old batteries

promptly and properly. Do not burn or

bury them.

Caution:

If you do not plan to use the

door chime for a two week period, re-

move the batteries. Batteries can leak

chemicals that can destroy electronic

parts.

Testing the Chime

Before permanently mounting the

chime, follow these steps to test the sys-

tem

1. With the receiver plugged into a

standard AC outlet, adjust

VOLUME

to its middle position. Then press

BELL

on the transmitter. The chime

should sound.

2. If the chime does not sound, make

certain that the transmitter and re-

ceiver are set to the same channel

and code.

3. Adjust

VOLUME

the receiver to

the desired listening level.

Mounting the Transmitter

Mount the transmitter within 50 feet of

the receiver using the supplied mounting

hardware. Depending upon the mount-

ing surface material of your home (wood

siding, brick face, and so on), you might

need to c

onsult your local hardware

store for a different type of mounting

hardware.

Note

: While the transmitter is water-

resistant, it is not waterproof. If you

are mounting the transmitter out-

doors, select a location that provides

some shielding from the elements.

Follow these steps to mount the trans-

mitter.

1. Drill four

-inch diameter holes into

the mounting surface (as shown be-

BELL

63-984.fm Page 3 Wednesday, September 8, 1999 4:42 PM

low). Then insert an anchor into

each hole.

2. Align the metal mounting bracket

with the holes you just drilled and

drive a screw through the bracket

into each hole. Do not overtighten

the screws.

3. Align the slot on the back of the

transmitter with the hook on the

mounting bracket. Carefully push

the transmitter onto the hook and

slide it down to secure it.

4. Once the transmitter is securely on

the bracket, insert the two supplied

pan-head machine screws through

the two holes on the lower edge of

the transmitter and into the threaded

holes in the bracket.

Mounting the Receiver

To mount the receiver onto a typical

sheetrock wall, use the two supplied pan

washer screws and anchors. Other-

wise, consult your local hardware store

for suitable hardware.

1. Drill two

-inch diameter holes into

the mounting surface about 4

inches (106 mm) apart

2. Insert an anchor into each drilled

hole, then thread a screw into each

anchor, letting the head of each

screw extend about

inch from the

wall.

3. Route the AC power cord beneath

the tabs on either side of the chan-

nel on the back of the receiver

4. Align the receiver's keyhole slots

with the screw heads and slide the

receiver down to secure it.

OPERATION

Your caller presses

BELL

on the door

transmitter to sound the receiver’s

chime.

Note:

If the chime sounds when the

transmitter's button is not pressed,

change the channel settings on both the

receiver and transmitter.

Hold down

TALK

on the receiver

(

the red

indicator lights) and speak in a normal

tone into the transmitter’s microphone

from about 2–3 inches away. When you

release

TALK,

the caller can reply by

holding down

TALK

on the transmitter.

Notes:

• The receiver and transmitter auto-

matically turn off if no one presses a

button within about 30 seconds.

Pressing any button on either unit

turns on the power again.

• If the temperature approaches the

lower end of the intercom’s operat-

ing range (around 0°F), you might

notice some sound distortion. This is

not a malfunction.

• A wireless telephone operating at

49MHz can interfere with the sys-

tem.

CARE

To use your RadioShack Wireless Inter-

com Door Chime system for a long time:

• Keep the system dry. If it gets wet,

wipe it dry immediately.

• Use and store the system only in

normal temperature environments.

• Handle the system gently and care-

fully. Do not drop either component.

• Keep the system away from dust

and dirt, and wipe the system with a

damp cloth occasionally to keep it

looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the sys-

tem’s internal components can cause a

malfunction and invalidate its warranty.

If your system is not performing as it

should, take it to your local RadioShack

store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO

KNOW

Your chime system might cause TV or

radio interference even when it is oper-

ating properly. To determine whether

the system is causing the interference,

remove the transmitter’s battery or un-

plug the receiver from AC power. If the

interference goes away, the transmitter

or the receiver is causing the interfer-

ence. Try to eliminate the interference

by moving the TV or radio away from the

transmitter or contacting your local Ra-

dioShack store for help. If you cannot

eliminate the interference, the FCC re-

quires that you stop using the system.
